Music Machines

We enter the plugged-in world of Tim Kaiser, a maker who fashions experimental musical instruments from scavenged objects. In the Workshop John Park builds a portable trebuchet from plastic plumbing pipe. Circuit bender, Bianca Pettis demystifies the art of soldering and Maker Channel contributors present a Smash Bat that takes moment-of-impact photos, a drum synthesizer played with Skittles, a pedal-powered tennis ball launcher, and an evil mouse that causes the cursor to misbehave whenever touched.
